This additive-free dry white wine from Chateau Katsunuma is made without any added antioxidants (sulfites). Crafted from a foreign-grown Muscat-type grape, it is fermented from concentrated grape juice at three times the standard concentration, giving it a fruity yet crisp, dry profile. Careful filtration during production helps prevent sediment and flavor degradation while keeping a clean, smooth finish. It shows the winery's signature citrus aromas and smart acidity, breaking the common assumption that additive-free wines must be sweet. Bottled at 720ml with 12% ABV.
Notable for proving that an additive-free wine can still deliver a genuinely dry, crisp style — a good reference point when comparing it against the winery's own sweet additive-free white.
